2021 iPhone ultrawide camera can get a big boost

November 8, 2020 by admin1

The iPhone 12 has just barely launched, but we already have some idea what next year’s lineup could look like according to TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s 2021 iPhones will keep the new form factor and screen sizes introduced with the iPhone 12 line, but offer an improved ultrawide camera on the high-end Pro and Pro Max models

Kuo predicted the iPhone 12 line and now seems set to reveal what to expect from the 2021 models nearly a year before they launch. This time, Kuo says the ultrawide camera of the Pro and Pro Max will be upgraded from the current f/2.4, five-element lens setup to an f/1.8, six-element lens with autofocus. The larger aperture should let in more light, potentially enhancing low-light shots, and we’re curious to see if the autofocus and an increased number of lens elements might make it easier to take great ultrawide pictures.

Recently, we’ve seen Apple reserving the best cameras for its priciest iPhones, with the iPhone 12 Pro Max getting a larger sensor and sensor-shift optical image stabilization for its main camera, and a longer telephoto lens as well. But the Pro Max didn’t buy you a better ultrawide camera than any other iPhone 12; that will change next year, according to Kuo.

In 2022, Kuo expects the new ultrawide will become standard across the entire iPhone line, but there could be a new high-end camera: Kuo previously predicted that 2022 iPhones would feature a periscope telephoto lens like the one we first saw torn down in the Huawei P30 Pro. Periscope telephoto lenses allow for increased optical zoom by spacing out lenses inside the body of the phone and using a mirror to point them out the back.

The new cameras join Kuo’s other predictions for the iPhone 2021: a completely port-free flagship, 120Hz ProMotion displays, and a new generation of Touch ID built directly into the display and/or the power button. So while Kuo says they may look visually similar to the iPhone 12, they could come with some important changes.

Get Free two months of Disney Plus with purchases on Fortnite

November 8, 2020 by admin1

Fortnite’s super season is powering-up with Disney+! In time for the final weeks of the Nexus War season, it’s the perfect way to watch (and rewatch) your favorite Marvel Studios movies!

Fortnite developer Epic Games announced a new promotion that allows players who make a real-money purchase in-game and are new Disney Plus subscribers to get up to two months of the streaming service for free. The offer is valid November 10th starting at 7PM ET through December 31st for players 18 years old or older in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand where Disney Plus is available.

Any real-money purchases made in Fortnite beginning November 6th, including the purchase of its-in game V-Bucks currency, will qualify users for the offer. Purchases made with V-Bucks are not eligible, however. Once the two-month Disney Plus trial ends, users will be charged the monthly rate for a subscription unless they cancel.

Epic is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with Apple over Fortnite’s in-app payment system. Apple removed the battle royale game from its App Store in August, because the payment system bypassed Apple’s 30 percent fee, a violation of App Store policy. Google also removed the Android version of Fortnite from the Play Store for violating its policies over in-app payments.

PUBG Mobile alternative FAU-G coming soon in India

September 5, 2020 by admin1

PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite ban in India, it seems that the Indian game developers are coming up with its version of a multiplayer online smartphone game called FAU-G. The game is developed under the mentorship of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. The game is also said to donate 20 percent of its net profit to ‘Bharat Ke Veer Trust’. This trust is responsible for giving homage and support to India’s Bravehearts.

Indian video game industry veteran Vishal Gondal announced on Twitter that Bangalore-based game studio nCore Games — where he’s an advisor — is introducing a PUBG Mobile Alternative dubbed FAU-G. The acronym stands for Fearless And United: Guards and is a play on the Hindi word Fauji, which means soldier.

According to 91Mobiles report, a Bengaluru based gaming publisher is gearing up to launch the game soon in India. The game titled “Fearless and United: Guards (FAU-G).” Further, the report added that FAU-G is designed based on real scenarios faced by the Indian Security Force during domestic and international threats.

The online third-person shooter game is expected to be launched by the end of October. The game will arrive with its first-level, which is set in the Galwan Valley. As per the report, the game will be available for download both on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

“For youngsters in India, gaming is becoming an important form of entertainment. With FAU-G, I’m hoping that as they play the game they will learn about the sacrifices of our soldiers and also contribute to the families of the martyrs; and with this, each one of us has the ability to support PM Modi’s vision of Atma Nirbhar,” Akshay Kumar quoted as saying.

Vishal Gondal, Founder, and Chairman of the gaming publisher said that it’s a great pride for them to develop a game that is going to contribute to nation-building by supporting our martyrs.

As of now, there’s not much information about the game shared by the publisher, so we have to wait until the official release. We can expect some more information about the game while moving closer to the launch.
